Co-Producers Jeanie Taylor and Georgia Williams, together with Director Joanie Roper and Co-Director Robert Williams, put together "Spring Fever", an exciting "song and dance revue" featuring the Wrinkles of Washington singers, dancers and musicians. The show was presented April 12th and 13th at the wonderful Olympia High School Performing Arts Center, 1302 North Street, Olympia, WA. The spring fever theme was carried throughout the show by a small swarm of bees, headed by the mama (or queen) bee.

Joanie Roper introduces Bill Dergan, the mc, to the audience and explains that we are very fortunate to have Bill as our mc as he is deathly afraid of bees. Bill introduces the quartet, Unforgettable. They open the show with the lively "Undecided."

The Prime Time Tappers dance to "Bandstand Boogie", while the audience applaudes enthusiastically.

Another newcomer to Wrinkles of Washington, but not to the spotlight on stage, Hal Sawyer treats the audience to "What Kind of Fool Am I?" Always a crowd pleaser, Gayle Andre entertains the audience with her version of "Please Release Me."

A new singer for Wrinkles of Washington, but one who has graced many stages in the past, Lori Leavitt enchants the audience with "Sunny Side of the Street" and "Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man of Mine." She joined by the wonderful keyboard artist, Joe Baque, and another audience favorite, Robert Williams, on saxophone. Bill Dergan and the bees finally meet and come to an understanding.
